Are they like a Soul, just bigger.

Could not read the report but looked like a decent catch

Chris, they have the texture of a top notch fillet steak, and are as sweet as..............nothing comes close in my book.

I used to watch them landed from the Fleetwood trawlers that went to icelandic waters, way back when. They'd have just one halibut on each trolley, they were that big! :o I think the rod caught record is just over 400lbs
